Very good theory. I couldn't guess why either but your story makes sense. Good job

This is great!

Ooh, creep-tastic! I like how you emphasised Claire's fear of dying, and how Boyd manipulates this to his own end. Brilliantly done, I wish there had been more explanation as to when Clyde really first "appeared", but I guess we'll never get that conclusion, so now we proceed onto the fanfiction!

Well done :)
